Chevy 383 Stroker Swap
|
The crankshaft from the car’s original 305 had a smaller hub than the early style 383 crank, so of course it didn’t fit. On top is the stock 305 flywheel that, like the new flywheel, is 10 inches in diameter to fit the clutch and the T5 bellhousing on the Z28. On the right is a standard 11-inch, 168-tooth flywheel. The bigger flywheel was too large to work with the Z28’s clutch, but because it fit on the crank hub, we figured out how to solve the problem: a late-model flywheel with an early-model hub diameter. We could have scrounged a 153-tooth flywheel from a junkyard, but the deadline was closing fast, so instead we bought the last, now-discontinued, McLeod neutral-balance flywheel (lower left) in stock at our local PAW warehouse for $205. To avoid this, make sure to get the late-model small-hub crankshaft and reuse the stock flywheel or buy one used. View Related Article
